"Millions Of Billions" lyrics

"Millions Of Billions"

I got in a fight, I was only fifteen
Standing in the park in soaking wet jeans
Eyes wide open
I could see the diamonds dancing in the leaves

I ran through the neighborhood
And down to the shore
The sea was still and silent as a starry glass floor
The ship was touching down
And all the bells were ringing all across the town

There were hundreds of thousands, millions of billions
Hungry ghosts, God's men, lovers and villains
I stepped upon the water
Saw my daughter's only father look me right in the eye
Right in the eye

A shadow that creeps upon your bed as you sleep
It slides along the wall and settles out in the hall
At the center of the stars a massive void that spins and calls you

Hundreds of thousands, millions of billions
Hungry ghosts, God's men, lovers and villains
I stepped upon the water
Saw my daughter's only father look me right in the eye
Right in the eye

I got in a fight, I was only fifteen
Standing in the park in soaking wet jeans
Eyes wide open
I could see the diamonds dancing in the leaves
